the NBA is investigating the Raptors for jonte Porter following some betting irregularities in games on January 26 and March 20th now Reports say wages up to $20,000 were being made on the under hitting with player props for Porter Porter is on a two-way contract right now earning 415,000 this year cam Smith back with my man Harrison sford and Harrison we are seeing it in the NBA we have seen it in other sports League like baseball with Shi Otani so do you see these investigations being a regula
r part in the sports landscape now especially with the influence and the influx of sports betting and really the Partnerships that a lot of these professional leagues have with sports betting books as it presently stands I do see more investigations coming up because nobody has been severely punished yet if you go to the NFL we actually did see a pretty severe punishment with Calvin really not too long ago but we haven't seen in the NBA yet and obviously it goes a while back before we've seen an
ything real drastic with major league baseball and Pete Rose but now that betting is a part of sports now and legal in a lot of States I'm hoping Cam that anybody who is il is guilty of anything illegal gets the most severe punishment and and in the case of jontay M uh J jonte Porter if these things are correct I hope he gets suspended for a lifetime because you have to wow wait a minute wait a minute severe enough for a lifetime ban on this I mean you talked about with Calvin rley and what we s
aw on the NFL those guys were not banned for lifetimes obviously is going to put a nasty mark on your resume and who you are as a player but you won't even give him a second chance especially in the league like the NBA that's been Progressive and one of the more Progressive leagues that we have in the world but even with Calvin Ridley he was betting on other teams in the sport of football jonte Porter was bet if the allegations are true he was essentially either he was or he was telling people t
o bet on him as an individual and on top of that and what makes it really nasty cam he was betting on the unders how in the world are you on a two-way contract and you're betting on the unders if anything I'm betting to go over my rebound prop over my points prop over my three-pointers made prop that's nasty work again again if it's true an example has to be made out of him and I'm sorry jontay Porter you're just not that talented to be taking that type of risk you going to if this is true again
if this is true you have to make an example of he has a brother in the NBA what in the again if it's true what in the world are you doing you're ruining all the fun for the people who bet responsibly and try to have faith in sports wagering like us cam I I I can't tolerate it and I'm sure that guy you see right there Adam Silver doesn't doesn't either yeah unfortunately for Jon if proven true with this situation then he's going to be made an example of by the NBA and Adam Silver and I talked ab
out with the NBA being one of the more Progressive leagues if not the the most Progressive league in the world they want to make sure that they send a message not only to their players but to all players across all sports Landscapes when it comes to professional sports gambling and those different areas so you're looking at the NBA really being on put on notice right now to see how they handle this situation if proven true with jonte Porter again this is jonte Porter not Michael Porter Jr the NB
A champion for the Denver Nuggets that jonte Porter name does not hold the same weight as Michael Porter Jr so you're looking at a situation for him when he's on that two-way contract only making $415,000 a year and I say only making when it comes to compared to what other players are making in the NBA you talk about him going under if I'm him I'm like all right well I got to try and cash out some way if proven true in this if this is true that he's trying to make more money for himself but it's
still when you blend those and blur those lines when it comes to sports gambling and you're the player and you're betting on yourself there should be no room for that so with you I'm thinking that he should face a lengthy suspension or ban but lifetime I can't go there har I don't think it's going to be a lifetime ban on jontay Porter but again this is on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and what he does and how he handles this situation with jonte porter porter cam you also have to factor in too y
es Adam Silver has to send a message to the players for sure but he also has to send a message to the People Like Us who are invested in sports wagering who place bets you want them to you want us us to have faith in betting because if we have faith in betting then DraftKings and FanDuel and all the other sports books out there will be happy with what uh uh we invest into these Sports books you can't have a public who doesn't have trust in the in the league or the players he has to be made an ex
ample of point plan period
